Bounty Hunter Quick Draw II: Four Modes, No Homework
Some hunters want to learn ground balance theory. Most just want the pull tabs gone. The Quick Draw II is built for the second group: its Auto Notch mode pre-programs the junk rejection for you, so the machine ignores the usual trash from your first sweep while still singing on coins.
Why the Quick Draw II
Running at 6.5 kHz with motion-based detection, it gives you four ways to hunt: All Metal when you want everything, Discriminate when you want control, Notch when you want to surgically remove one junk category, and Auto Notch when you want the machine to just handle it. Three-tone audio target ID classifies finds by ear, the LCD shows what the target probably is, and a depth indicator says how far down, up to 8 in (20 cm) on coin-sized targets. The waterproof 8 in (20 cm) coil handles wet sand and shallow water while the housing stays dry. Worth knowing: one national big-box currently lists this machine at $199; the correct price is what you see here, and it comes with a dealer who answers the phone. Designed and made in El Paso, Texas.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Auto Notch?
A mode with junk rejection pre-programmed: common trash like pull tabs is filtered automatically while coin-range targets still sound off. It is the "just work" setting new hunters actually use.
Quick Draw II or Discovery 2200?
Four dollars apart, genuinely different flavors: the QD2 gives you Auto Notch simplicity, the 2200 gives you a 4th audio tone and Squelch-Tech filtering. Trashy urban parks lean QD2; mineralized ground leans 2200. We stock both.
How deep does it read?
Coin-sized targets to about 8 in (20 cm); larger objects deeper.
Is it waterproof?
The 8 in (20 cm) coil is waterproof; the control housing is weather-resistant, not submersible.
Is this a good first detector?
Yes, one of the most sensible: real target ID and four modes with zero setup burden.
